Dear foi,

That doesn't seem accurate. "Carolyn" from your department wrote on the 9th of September 2021 "I am advised that the NDIA has in its possession approximately 30 documents containing an estimated 200 pages relevant to your request" for the FOI Request FOI 20/21-0843. It seems you do know what documents they are and you do indeed have them, in addition to acknowledging the communications in your disclosure log. Send the documents you found thanks.

Again, it relates to these specific documents:

“ ...a copy of the "Risk Management Framework" cited in the NDIA Annual Report 2013- 2014
... a copy of the Charter and/or Terms of Reference for the "Audit and Risk Committee (ARC) cited in the NDIA Annual Report 2013-2014
... a copy of the "Risk Management Strategy" cited in the NDIA Annual Report 2013- 2014
... details and copies of "Risk Management" consultancies cited in the NDIA Annual Report 2013-2014
... a copy of the NDIA's "Risk Management Declaration" for end of financial year 2013- 2014, as required by Part 5 of the legislative instrument: National Disability Insurance Scheme—Risk Management Rules 2013.
...copies of all Audit and Risk Committee (ARC) Minutes of Meeting for the financial year 2013-14, cited in the NDIA 2013-14 Annual Report [1]. This includes all attendees, agenda, topics and resolutions/outcomes.”

Yours sincerely,
